Say What? Moose quoted the bolt and it was really me, the nut. I insist
on proper credit (blame).

I thought Moose was largely referring to my pasted list of some of the
lenses-may not be adaptable at least with the EF to Nex SB due to
protrusions that could damage the optics--lest I misconstrued. - This
requires dual adapters which may not be the best idea. The dedicated SB
OM to NEX Bo Ming had mentioned (nor EF or OM to MFT) has not appeared
so the engineering may be difficult.
.
Some on this list have worked anyway--perhaps sample variability but
proceed at own risk:
Olympus OM
OM 18/3.5
OM 21/2
OM 21/3.5
OM 28/2.8
OM 50/1.8
Pentax K
Every Pentax K-mount lens has a protruding fin and an aperture lever.
It does NOT fit."
That be said if he comes out with a SB, OM to MFT perhaps some OMZ
lenses may work even better--veiling flare has been an issue and the SB
I trust will decrease that. Center resolution is actually increased a
tad and the lens is a stop faster. :-)) Downsides already discussed.
With the A7(R) available the Raison d'être for the SB is somewhat less
compelling, IMO.
Please keep the nuts and bolts straight, Mike
